Ever wonder if the cosmos had a hand in shaping Philly’s streetscape? As Venus moonlights in a reflective dance with Pluto, the city is honoring a voice that refused to be silenced—LGP QUA, the rapper who turned pain into poetry and the intersection of 9th and Clearfield into a symbol of resilience. This is no ordinary street renaming; it’s a celestial nod to a young talent who, despite life’s twists and a tragic end on Mother’s Day, continues to inspire the youth of Philadelphia. From battles behind bars to beats that echoed through Kensington’s hard-hit neighborhoods, LGP QUA’s journey was as complex as any chart I’ve read under a waxing crescent. So, what happens when a city decides to rename a street after a rapper whose life was cut too short but whose impact remains astronomically large? Let’s dive into the legacy of the “Voice of the Youth” and why this ceremony feels like the universe saying, “Hey, you’re not forgotten.” LEARN MORE.
LGP QUA will forever be remembered in the streets where he once walked, as Philadelphia officials prepare to rename the intersection of 9th and Clearfield Streets “Voice of the Youth” in honor of the fallen Hip-Hop artist.
The 30-year-old rapper, who earned the nickname “Voice of the Youth,” was gunned down on Mother’s Day during what authorities described as a botched robbery attempt.
LGP QUA’s musical journey began after his release from prison in his early twenties, when he transformed his life experiences into powerful lyrics that resonated with Philadelphia’s youth.
His 2017 freestyle addressing Meek Mill‘s incarceration brought him widespread recognition and landed a high-profile collaboration with will.I.am, while his community outreach gained him more respect.
His Instagram documented regular visits to the blighted Kensington neighborhood, where he handed out hot coffee and backpacks to drug addicts and those in need.
City Council previously recognized LGP QUA’s charitable efforts with an official citation, acknowledging his dedication to helping Philadelphia’s youth through various community initiatives.
The investigation into LGP QUA’s murder has resulted in three arrests. Joshua Thomas-Coleman and Abdul Boyd, both 19, were initially charged with murder, conspiracy and robbery.
The third suspect, 22-year-old Amir Earley, evaded capture for two months before U.S. Marshals apprehended him on Reach Street in Northeast Philadelphia.
Earley faces identical charges to his co-defendants, including murder, conspiracy, robbery and weapons violations. He was denied bail during his preliminary arraignment and remains in custody.
Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill publicly mourned the Philadelphia native following news of his death.
“Killing ambitious young bulls like this on Mother’s Day is a Philly type of thing,” Meek Mill posted on social media.
The street renaming ceremony on Saturday (November 8) represents more than just a memorial; it symbolizes Philadelphia’s commitment to honoring those who worked to uplift their communities despite facing personal struggles.
